Growing Up Biracial Part 1
Racism. It sucks. It is a horrible awful act that hurts millions of people all the time. Not only is it offensive, and damaging, it's also a pretty tough topic to talk about. Which is why I decided to sit down and write this article, because a lot of people won't. Don't get me wrong, I never just woke up and thought, "Wow, what a beautiful morning, let's talk about something that makes people uncomfortable. Oh, I know, racism!" It doesn't work like that. It actually wasn't till quite recently that I decided to finally voice my opinions. The thought that spurred on this decision occurred when I first heard the news that Meghan Markle was going to be England's first biracial princess. After I finished my happy dance, I sat down to think about why I was so happy with this game changing princess. Mainly, because as little girl, I was (and still to this day) obsessed with Disney princesses. I had all the dolls, all the costumes, and all big dreams any Disneyprincess' had. But even from a young age, I noticed something. There were no biracial princesses.
